Warnings to Installers

Whelen’s emergency vehicle warning devices must be properly mounted and wired in order to be effective and safe. Read and follow all of Whelen’s written

instructions when installing or using this device. Emergency vehicles are often operated under high speed stressful conditions which must be accounted for

when installing all emergency warning devices. Controls should be placed within convenient reach of the operator so that they can operate the system without

taking their eyes off the roadway. Emergency warning devices can require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around

live electrical connections.Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or vehicle

damage, including fire. Many electronic devices used in emergency vehicles can create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. Therefore, after

installation of any electronic device it is necessary to test all electronic equipment simultaneously to insure that they operate free of interference from other

components within the vehicle. Never power emergency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding circuit with radio

communication equipment. All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and securely fastened to vehicle elements of

sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied to the device. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect the way equipment should be mounted. This

device should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones specified by the vehicle manufacturer, if any. Any device mounted in the deployment

area of an air bag will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag and may damage or dislodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its

mounting hardware and electrical supply wiring does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors. Mounting the unit inside the vehicle by a

method other than permanent installation is not recommended as unit may become dislodged during swerving; sudden braking or collision. Failure to follow

instructions can result in personal injury. Whelen assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device. PROPER INSTALLATION

COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF

EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.

Warnings to Users

Whelen’s emergency vehicle warning devices are intended to alert other operators and pedestrians to the presence and operation of emergency vehicles and

personnel. However, the use of this or any other Whelen emergency warning device does not guarantee that you will have the right-of-way or that other

drivers and pedestrians will properly heed an emergency warning signal. Never assume you have the right-of-way. It is your responsibility to proceed safely

before entering an intersection, driving against traffic, responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around traffic lanes. Emergency vehicle warning

devices should be tested on a daily basis to ensure that they operate properly. When in actual use, the operator must ensure that both visual and audible

warnings are not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions. It is the user’s responsibility

to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should be familiar with all applicable laws and regulations prior to the use of

any emergency vehicle warning device. Whelen’s audible warning devices are designed to project sound in a forward direction away from the vehicle

occupants. However, because sustained periodic exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing loss, all audible warning devices should be installed and

operated in accordance with the standards established by the National Fire Protection Association.

Audio signals (J10):

Radio Rebroadcast (Pins 1, 2)

Two blue wires are used to connect the audio output of your two-way radio

to the Whelen Siren Module for radio rebroadcast. (Optional connection).

NOTE: Radio rebroadcast will NOT work with radios requiring

amplified remote speakers! If your remote speaker is amplified (i.e.

contains a power amp circuit in the speaker assembly), the signal

from the radio will not be appropriate for this input.

Locate the two wires that connect the external speaker to the two-way

radio. Splice one of the blue wires into one of the radio’s speaker wires,

then splice the other blue wire into the other radio speaker wire.

Radio Repeat Volume Adjustment

Locate the Radio Repeat adjustment potentiometer on the left side of the

Core module. Set the volume of the vehicle’s two-way radio to its normal

operating level. Press the RAD button on the control head to activate

Radio Repeat. As incoming transmissions are received, adjust the Radio

Repeat potentiometer to set the desired level. Turn the potentiometer

clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the level.

recommended for data transfer use. Not all cables are capable of

charging and data transfer.

Ethernet Port (J2):

To be used with a Whelen Ethernet device.

CAN Communications (J8,J4):

J8 is the control link between all WeCanX® devices. Core-S™ ties into the

vehicles OBDII port using J4.

Page 4

Hands-Free Siren / Optional:

You may either use a customer supplied relay capable of handling the cur-

rent of your vehicle horn connected as shown or the Dry Contact Relay

located on the main control box (recommended)

Connecting the USB:

Connect a computer with Whelen Command® software via USB once the

boot-up and initialization process is complete to transfer a new

configuration. If you send a configuration to Core-S™ with only USB

connected, the configuration will not be sent to all devices until power and

ignition are applied to Core-S™ with WeCanX® connection maintained to

powered devices. Note: Make sure power is applied to Core-S™ before

connecting USB.

If you are updating the firmware of the main Core-S™ or transferring/

extracting a new configuration, connect to Core-S™ via a USB-C

connector without external power. This provides communication and

power to the central controller only. If there is no configuration currently on

Core-S™, the status indicator will be steady Orange. If there is a valid

configuration, the status indicator will be steady Green. If there are no

OBDII or analog connections, the status indicator will be steady Blue.

Booting up Core-S™:

When you first apply power and ignition to Core-S™, the status indicator

will blink Magenta to indicate that it is booting up. After 2 seconds,

Core-S™ should complete boot up and go through the initialization

process outlined in the next section.

Troubleshooting Boot up:

If the Status indicator is steady Red (not flashing) and the Activity indicator

is off, then there is a firmware corruption. After power and ignition is

applied to the unit, connect USB to the unit and open Whelen Command®

software. Follow the update firmware instructions below to see if this fixes

the corruption. If this does not work, then the device must be sent in for

repair.

Initializing Devices and Updating Firmware:

Initialization:

To ensure proper initialization, make sure all devices are connected via a

WeCanX® connector and are powered with 12VDC BEFORE applying

ignition to Core-S™. When ignition is applied, Core-S™ will then register

all devices it can communicate with through the WeCanX® bus. The

Status indicator will flash WHITE, and the Activity indicator will flash Blue,

showing message communication.

NOTE: If you have no configuration on Core-S™, the Status indicator

will be steady Orange. If a configuration is present, the Status

indicator will be a steady Green. When the status indicator is no longer

flashing White, the initialization process is complete. USB can now be

plugged into Core and hooked up to Whelen Command®.

Updating Firmware:

To update the firmware in Whelen Command®, ensure you have gone

through the Core-S™ initialization process and that all devices are

connected via WeCanX® and powered with 12VDC. Plug in USB, open

Whelen Command®, and select “Core-S™” from the product menu. Click

the “W” icon in the top left corner and select “Update Firmware” from the

list. Click the refresh button to see a list of all available devices connected

to Core-S™. Verify that every device you have connected is displayed. If

any are missing, restart the initialization process and try again. Update the

firmware of any device that needs it. Do not remove the WeCanX®

connection or power until Whelen Command® states the process has

been completed. The firmware update is completed one device at a time.

That device's diagnostic indicator will slowly flash Blue to indicate that the

firmware is loading. The device's diagnostic indicator will start blinking

faster to indicate that the firmware is currently installing. Note: When the

peripheral devices have finished updating, the diagnostic indicator

on each respective device will turn off unless the diagnostic

indicators are configured to be on, in which case they will turn Green

when finished.

Troubleshooting Firmware Updates:

If Whelen Command® informs you that the transfer failed, unplug the USB

and cycle power to all units. Then plug the USB back into Core-S™ and hit

the refresh button on the Whelen Command® “Update Firmware” page.

Repeat the firmware update process if the firmware is not up to date. If a

device fails to update and all connections are intact, its diagnostic

indicator will remain blinking blue to indicate that it is loading the firmware.

After reinitializing the system, the device will show up on the “Update

Firmware” page with firmware version “Unknown”. From there, you can

then update the firmware to the newest version. Note: If at any point

your device stops working and you have verified that all the proper

connections are intact, re-initialize and check for firmware updates.

Configuring Devices:

The fastest and easiest way to configure your system is immediately after

the initialization and firmware update processes are complete. An up-to-

date system allows for easily importing connected devices into a new

configuration using the “Detect via USB” feature on the “My Hardware”

page. All devices presently communicating with Core-S™ will populate the

hardware list. Certain devices will not automatically populate due to the

need for further configuration, such as lightbars, Inner edges, and Traffic

Advisors. Whelen Command® will alert the user to these devices, but they

will not automatically populate the list. Core-S™ will show a steady Cyan

status indicator if a device is connected to the control system but is not in

the configuration. Note: Any device that you have multiples of require

configured installation ID’s.

Transferring Configuration Files to Device:

There are two ways to transfer configurations to your system. You can

connect to Core-S™ via USB or over the air using WHELEN CLOUD

PLATFORM®. Core-S™ must be connected to power and ignition during

a transfer via USB, or the configuration will not transfer to the internal

siren or IO. For this configuration to reach other WeCanX® devices,

Core-S™ must be connected and initialized to the other devices in the

configuration. Core-S™ diagnostic indicators are always on. During the

transfer, the Status indicator will be solid or flashing white. In contrast, the

activity indicator will flash Blue to show communication. A finished

configuration is indicated by the device's diagnostic indicator turning solid

Green or turning off. (This depends on whether or not you have turned

device diagnostic indicators on in “configuration settings”). If a large DVM

tone is being transferred to an external siren or howler, the device will

display a blinking Red indicator while receiving the configuration data only

if the diagnostic indicator is enabled. If the indicators are turned off, you

will only have the Status and Activity indicators on the Core-S™ controller

to determine the state of the configuration.

Idle States:

After a configuration transfer, Core-S™ will enter an idle state and wait for

inputs/instructions pending the trigger of a programmed event. Core-S’s™

activity indicator is always on and will blip every time it is processing a

communication. If an analog or OBDII connection is present, the activity

indicator will always show activity in an idle state. The activity indicator will

blip every time any input state change is sensed. You can watch for the

Activity blip on Core-S™ when testing an input to verify the input state

change. If no blip occurs, verify you have made all the right connections. If

everything on the WeCanX® bus is initialized and there is a valid and fully

populated configuration, then the Core-S™ status indicator will be a

steady Green. If there are devices on the bus that are initialized but not

present in the configuration, then the status indicator will be steady Cyan.

If there is no valid configuration on Core-S™, then the status indicator will

be steady Orange.

System Shutdown:

The Core-S™ system is designed to have constant 12VDC power. Every

device, including the main Core-S™ controller, has a built-in sleep

function to minimize battery drain. Applying ignition voltage to Core-S’s™

ignition pin will wake the system, and removing the ignition voltage will put

Core-S™ to sleep. After 3 seconds, all other devices connected to

Core-S™ via WeCanX® will go to sleep and turn off diagnostic indicators.

Installation IDs

While detecting via USB, Whelen Command® will prompt an “Installation

IDs are not set” error if more than one of the same device types is

recognized. As a rule, if you have more than one of the same device

types, you must manually set the installation ID. For Example, two

Remote 16s would need their IDs set, but one Remote 16 and one

Remote 8 would not. Two Arges® Remote Spotlights would need their IDs

set, but one Arges® Remote Spotlight and one Arges® Profocus would

not. Click on the “W” icon on the top left of the “My Hardware” page and

select “Assign Installation IDs”. All devices you are setting will have a

default ID of unassigned. Unplug all the devices you plan to rename

except for one. Refresh the list and select the number you want from the

drop-down menu, check the box next to the device and click assign. After

you have assigned the device, you can add each subsequent device one

at a time and iterate the installation ID. If you have set installation IDs

before you “Detect via USB”, Whelen Command® will automatically

populate the hardware list with the correct configuration ID to match the

Installation ID. Note: The installation ID numbers only differentiate

between devices of the same device type, meaning that you can have

multiple devices with the same installation ID if they are different

devices types.

Troubleshooting Installation IDs:

Installation IDs may not have been set if you have more than one of the

same device types in your configuration and only one of them is working.

After firmware initialization, check to ensure that you have proper

connections and that all identical device types have installation IDs set.

Indicators:

The central Core-S™ diagnostic indicators are always

on to provide insight into the system's current state.

Individual devices connected to Core-S™ need to be

configured manually in the configuration itself.

Enabling diagnostic indicators on all WeCanX®

devices in your configuration lets you see their status

visually. Which helps to determine what state the

device is in and if the device has gone to sleep. To

turn these indicators on, open Whelen Command®,

navigate to configuration settings and select

diagnostic indicators. From there, you can choose

which devices to enable and the intensity of their

indicator lights.

NOTE: The diagnostic indicators are very useful for following the progress of large configuration transfers to external sirens.
